What is Tixl?

Image
Introduction In order to explain what is Tixl, we first have to understand a little better what are the problems that Bitcoin, Ethereum and other crypto coins have. If we don't have the correct understanding of those, Tixl might just not make any sense. This article is written for people who have some understanding of crypto. People who have traded and transferred cryptos from/to their wallets from/to Exchanges etc. My first time (and probably yours too) The first time I bought a crypto, I got really scared. Before anyone ever explained to me why crypto was something interesting, I had my mind set to "this is good for illegal transactions like buying drugs or guns or whatever". So, even after understanding what it really is about, the first time I actually bought some, I still felt like I was going to some kind of dark, obscure place. Then I put my order and it got executed. My money came out of my account and... no bitcoin in my wallet. My first thought: "refresh, r...

Who is Tixl's competition?

Earlier this month, I wrote an article " Who are Tixl's competitors? ". If you read it, you've seen that I think that Tixl has no competitors. But we need to be realistic here. I also wrote an article where I mention that not always the best technical solution is the one that dominates the market . The point is: competition can come from anywhere, at any time. From a technical point, I still think that Tixl is the best solution but we need to be fair and look at other solutions that have a similar proposition to Tixl's: fast and cheap (I think these are the main business problems everyone wants to solve), and interoperability (which I find more difficult to explain). Cardano (ADA) For all I know, Cardano is a Layer 1 solution, just like Tixl. And it was born earlier, when the founder didn't agree with what was being developed for ETH. I think he understood that, the more the ETH network grew, the slower it would get, and the higher the price of ETH, the more e...

How good would it be for $TXL to be listed on a major Exchange NOW?

Image
Very good!? Pump and dump? Would it be good or bad for TXL's image? A lot of people seem to agree that TXL needs to be listed on a major Exchange. Some will say: It needs to get listed for price to soar, OR Price will soar if it gets listed, OR If it gets listed now price will pump and dump. It seems like everybody knows the answer: everything is so simple. I don't think like that. Actually, I think I have more questions than answers. First of all, let me try to separate points (1) and (2) above since a lot of people will say they are the same. For me they are not the same because they depend on the mindset of the person who said it. Some people just want to make money and leave This is the kind of person that doesn't know or doesn't care about the project. He either bought in at a very low price (or market cap) because someone he knows said it is good and return will be over 10x or 100x or maybe he is one of those ICO / IDO hunters who just want to ride the "Alt-c...

Sometimes you don't need to have the best technical solution to dominate the market

If you read my other posts, you already know how much I like the Tixl Project and believe that they have the best solution for the crypto world. I constantly read people criticizing the Tixl Marketing Team: they don't post anything, they cannot get influencers to talk about the project, they aren't able to list TXL on a major Exchange and more. The answer has always been: we're waiting for the product to be ready so then we can start to market it. I agree with this approach but I feel the need to point out an important thing I've seen in my life: having the best technical solution is no guarantee that your product is the one that will conquer the world. There are some examples that come to my mind. VHS x Betamax (and now you know how old I am) I think it was during the early 80s that the so called video-cassettes became popular. The great features they had were (in my opinion): You could record TV shows and watch them later You could rent movies in a Video Rental store ...

What happens to the ETH tokens when we use the cross-chain bridge?

A person in the Telegram group asked this question and it hit me: why do we always think that people know how things work and the acronyms? Well, the person who asked the question is a person who is interested in understanding more about the project so he or she can help more. So I decided to take some time and try to explain with an analogy. What happens when you cross a bridge? In order to try to explain how the Tixl Cross-Chain (ERC20 <--> BEP20) works, I decided to make a real bridge analogy. Imagine a bridge that crosses over a river and this river separates 2 countries. The actual example for this is the bridge over the river that separates Brazil from Paraguay. And, just for the sake of the example, imagine this: Brazil is ETH Paraguay is BSC The physical bridge is the Tixl Cross-Chain Bridge And the person crossing the bridge is the TXL token. I'm using the country border as the example because every time a person wants to cross a border, they have to present their pa...

Should Tixl launch a beta version of the Autobahn Network?

Other projects launch anything, anyway - and make money! Lately, other than Tixl, I've been watching another project: ECOMI. It called my attention because it is an NFT crypto and the team seems to be very good in securing partnerships with brands such as "Back to the Future", "DC" (where they launched Batman and others as NFTs) and there is a huge talk they will get Pokemon too. A little more about ECOMI ECOMI is the company. Like Tixl Org. They created their token: $OMI. Like Tixl created $TXL. They built their product: an app called Veve where people can buy and sell NFTs. They launched this app in a Beta version, and it works. That is their sales pitch: "we have the app where you can buy/sell and store your NFTs". People who want to buy NFTs just need to put their credit card. Very easy for the user. Analyzing a little deeper: the $OMI token was built on top of the Gochain blockchain. I don't know it but I understand that transactions here are ...

Who are Tixl's competitors?

Introduction Before I start, let me say that all I write here is based on what I know and what I think. I might be wrong. I might be imprecise on some of the stories. I don't care if I'm exaggerating something somewhere. Things might not be exactly how I say, but I hope you agree that, at least, it makes sense. It is funny how many people like to think that, in the world you either win or lose. It is like there is no cooperation. My last years in the corporate world, I heard this term a lot: coopetition. It was supposed to be the sum of cooperation and competition. I think corporations like to invent these terms and then misuse them but, looking back, this one seems quite interesting. In my conversations, I heard a lot of: "if Tixl gets there before the others, it's game over for the others, and if the others get there before Tixl, it's game over for Tixl". It doesn't matter what we were talking about. My point is: why do I have to kill the other one? And ...

It seems like something big is about to happen very soon!

I talked to a friend and fellow Tixl investor on Friday about the project and noticed that we share very similar points of view regarding the project and that something is about to happen very soon.  Based on that conversation, I decided to write this post to try to list all the reasons why we think that $TXL is about to go up very soon. Some of the reasons are based on reality (things that we see that are really happening) and some speculation (we let our minds fly higher and imagine where things could go). The facts The Autobahn Network The Autobahn Network is the infrastructure that makes it possible for Tixl to transfer BTC and ETH in a few seconds at a very low cost. But what is the evidence that it is there? The Tixl Wallet is the evidence. Launched a couple of months ago, it was first integrated to the BTC chain. I said many times (and the recent Tixl Announcements say to) that the Tixl Wallet, integrated to the ETH chain is virtually ready. We tested it. Main net launches v...
